Dear Readers,

Summer is ripe with thrilling possibilities. It’s in the air – anything can happen! And if you're like me, you also love to indulge in escapist summertime pleasures, like watching a big summer blockbuster, enjoying a leisurely dinner party with friends, and taking a vacation to somewhere exotic. And who doesn’t find pleasure in a good summer read? In these wonderful, escapist new books, you’ll solve a murder in Paris alongside none other than Julia Child. You’ll fall in love with three stoic cowboys and partner up with handsome law enforcement officers. You’ll also traverse the wilds of Alaska and work down to bring down a terrorist with a rugged U.S. Marshal. And in a cozy novel from yours truly, you’ll visit a close-knit Texan town to see how opposites attract as three unlikely couples come together.

Be sure to head on over to DownHomeReads.com too for more bookish fun, and look for my next round of recommendations in the magazine’s fall issue! More Down Home Reads are on the way, so don’t go far, y’all!

 

Happy Reading,
